(based on description, discussion, explanation and analysis)

2. Attempt any One of the followings: (5 Marks)

a. Discuss in detail the importance of Operations Research in Decision making.
b. A factory produces two products A and B. Each of the Product A requires 2 hrs of
moulding, 2 hrs of grinding and 2hrs for polishing. The moulding machine can work
for 20 hrs, grinding machine for 24 hrs and polishing machine available for 13 hrs.
